It needs to cook and break down some first, no good fresh and wet. Throw it in a compost if you have one.

Hey peeps, chuffed this moring, looks like some of my "Tasty Tom" seeds are sprouting. These are the shop bought tomatoes that I dried some seeds from and planted. Real juicy and tasty, medium sized tomatoes.
I planted 3 cucumbers, they all came up, but one just totally died. I was looking at the roots and they looked fine, I put it in the shade, I put it in direct sun, gave it some straight water, nothing seemded to get this thing back up. Anyway, if the grow like they did last year 2 plants should be enough for the wife and I.
Close up of parsley.
Pumpkins..
The Splendens are coming along great...
Okay, what do you guys think, bright red dots? these are our first rose buds to show....also found some on the strawberry plants, mites I think.
They don't seem to be moving so I thought they are probably eggs...
Peace, DST

Now I am not sure, I have been looking closer and it appears that these are the trichomes of the rose....but the webs make it look like mites, but I think what looks like webs are actually grass seeds that fly around (the fluffy variety, excuse my knowledge of them).
???what do you peeps think???

"Are you using the water pump to aerate the tea by means of waterfall? I think water falls work fairly well to aerate solution..." baked, it just sounds funny, but would help aeration.
I dont dilute the tea for my older plants but you probably made a much stronger batch then I did. Im just toasted and speaking my mind
You two are
the mad ones.
haha
Hey Iv come across a few good ones, I'' try to find em' again.
ni i just use a air pump into a air stone to bubble the water, dont have a water circulater, so no water fall happening. i have on in my fish tank that would work but they need it more then me i think.
and that would be great about the tea guide if you can find it.
if it is aged, i would just toss it into my soil and mix it real good. it seems to me it is much easier to alow just the soil feed the plants rather then feed them every time you water, and having to make some sort of tea or dig it in to the top 2 inches of soil with out disturbing roots.

i just looked at mine and a few neighbors and ours are a few days behind yours in the budding stage and they all have the same thing. they are not mights, but like you said above a rose trichome. i rub my finger on mine and it felt like soft thorn almost. i dont think it is anything to worry about. the webs did throw me off though.
and dam DST all your plants always look so healthy great work.
and 2 cucumber plants should be enough for you and your wife. i only grew 2 last year and it produced way more then enough for me and 5 other people some even went to waste. if i have extras this year i am going to try to donate them to a home less shelter or something nice.

muchas gracias McP. And thanks for checking our your ones as well to compare. I sprayed them the other day as they always get aphides when the new growth starts to come through. Then I saw this and thought, ffs. But the webs as I say, are not actually webs, they are seeds not disimilar to dandelion seeds. I think you may be right there with the cucmber thing. Ah well, I can always donate some to neighbours, lol. Keep them happy.

so if it isnt aged dont use it??? and how long should it age for?

im not to sure on the aged thing, i have always been told to use aged manure and by aged all that is meant is that is it is about a year old or composted. if you go into a cow field in summer and find those dried up cow patties and i mean crunchy dry, those are considered aged.
i know a few people who do use fresh horse and piss shit from theri stalls also mixed in with bedding and theri garden does great. could also use some aged stuff and make a teas as well.

your plants are looking really good BC, my squash and zucchinis have been stressed and burnt by the sun a lil bit, we had a few days of 80 degree weather so i placed them outside and the soft tender leafs of the squash and zucchini burnt up on the edges, but they shall recover and now i know that they need to be hardened off more then any other plant i have right now

Yeah luckily i put mine in the ground when they were young so they hardened off a couple weeks ago, the past couple days they have been loving the hot warm weather it seems, one of them has doubled in size, and is twice as big as the other two, the far left squash i believe.

How does the cauliflower plant grow, i have never grown it before, so i am kinda amazed at its growth speed right now. How many crowns per plant is normal?
